HiGEM HadCM3(L30) example dataset contents

The HadCM3(L30) dataset is a 100 year dataset made up of a number of model runs. The run is split into a number of segments due to run restarts and data archiving problems. The run identifiers and the times they span are:

Run Identifier	Start (UM format)	Start (yyyy-mm)	End (UM format)	End (yyyy-mm)
xbare	p0jan	2050-01	q9dec	2069-12
xbarq	r0jan	2070-02	r0mar	2070-03
xbbde	r0apr	2070-04	r1dec	2071-12
xbare	r2jan	2072-01	t1dec	2091-12
xbble	t2jan	2092-01	v9dec	2119-12
xbblz	w0jan	2120-01	w1jan	2121-01
xbble	w1feb	2121-02	y9dec	2149-12

Intially, since this is an example dataset, only the fields at the highest time resolution have been archived. Monthly mean and Seasonal mean files also exist and can be archived if requested.

File naming convention:	${runid}${model}.p${unit}${ummonth}.pk
	where ${runid} is the run identifier
	${model} is the model identifier, 'a' for atmosphere, 'o' for ocean
	${unit} is the model output channel 'a' for daily atmosphere, 'e' for five daily ocean
	${ummonth} is the date as a um formatted decade-month string
